Author: James Steele | Size: 103 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: November 10, 1992 | pages: 212 | ISBN: 1854901737, ISBN-13: 978-1854901736
Recent social, political and environmental upheavals have had a two-fold effect on the built environment in Third World countries. They have destroyed the traditional cultural structure in rural areas, which has led to homelessness and the marginalization of entire communities, and large-scale urbanization has become a powerful phenomenon of which the Islamic World is very much a part. Such global changes have had a dramatic impact on the jury for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, whose selections for 1992 are presented here. The projects selected this year, which address issues relevant to both the developing and developed world, are economically sustainable, humanistic solutions to difficult problems, and generate a new architectural language. They provide a valuable insight into an alternative design approach for both rural and urban environments. Essays by Suha Ozkan of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Mohammed Arkoun, Professor of Islamic Thought at the Sorbonne,Paris, and Arif Hasan, Pakistani architect and planner, place the projects within the context of the major social transition now underway, and an article by the late Hassan Fathy on Contemporaneity in the City provides a historical perspective. Each award-winning project is described in detail by Charles Moore and Selma al-Radi, and they are comparatively reviewed by James Steele, and a brief history of Samarkand, where the awards were presented, completes this volume.

In searching the forum I found that one of the main material used these days (plywood) does not have enough space.
One of the major association globally is "APA Engineered Wood Association"
I will try to put some information here.
A Short History of APA
APA — The Engineered Wood Association is the nonprofit trade association of the U.S. and Canadian engineered wood products industry. Based in Tacoma, Washington, the Association is comprised of and represents manufacturers of structural plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), structural composite panels, glued laminated (glulam) timber, wood I-joists, and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). (See the glossary backgrounder for explanation of these products.)
APA was founded in 1933 as the Douglas Fir Plywood Association to advance the interests of the burgeoning Pacific Northwest plywood industry. Adhesive and technology improvements eventually led to the manufacture of structural plywood from Southern pine and other species, and in 1964 the Association changed its name to American Plywood Association (APA) to reflect the national scope of its growing membership.
The Association’s membership expanded again in the early 1980s with the introduction of oriented strand board (OSB), a product the Association helped bring to market through development of new panel performance standards. A decade later, APA formed a related nonprofit organization now called Engineered Wood Systems (EWS) to accommodate manufacturers of non-panel engineered wood products, such as glulam timber, wood I-joists and laminated veneer lumber.
To better reflect the broadening product mix and geographic range of its membership, the Association changed its name again in 1994 to APA—The Engineered Wood Association. The acronym “APA” was retained in the name because it was so widely known and respected in the marketplace.
Today, APA and EWS represent approximately 152 engineered wood product mills in the U.S., Canada and abroad.

Utilization of multimode Love wave dispersion curve inversion for geotechnical site investigation
Author: La Hamimu, Mohd Nawawi,Jamhir Safani | Size: 1.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Journal of Geophysics and Engineering, Volume 8, Number 2 | Year: June 2011 | pages: 11 | ISSN: 1742-2132
Inversion codes based on a modified genetic algorithm (GA) have been developed to invert multimode Love wave dispersion curves. The multimode Love wave dispersion curves were synthesized from the profile representing shear-wave velocity reversal using a full SH (shear horizontal) waveform. In this study, we used a frequency–slowness transform to extract the dispersion curve from the full SH waveform. Dispersion curves overlain in dispersion images were picked manually. These curves were then inverted using the modified GA. To assess the accuracy of the inversion results, differences between the true and inverted shear-wave velocity profile were quantified in terms of shear-wave velocity and thickness errors, ES and EH. Our numerical modeling showed that the inversion of multimode dispersion curves can significantly provide the better assessment of a shear-wave velocity structure, especially with a velocity reversal profile at typical geotechnical site investigations. This approach has been applied on field data acquired at a site in Niigata prefecture, Japan. In these field data, our inversion results show good agreement between the calculated and experimental dispersion curves and accurately detect low velocity layer targets.

Author: Piotr D. Moncarz and Helmut Krawinkler | Size: 5.7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: The John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Centre | Year: 1981 | pages: 272
This report summarizes part of a four year study on the feasibility and limitations of a small scale model studies in earthquake engineering and practice. The emphasis is placed on dynamic modeling theory, a study of mechanical properties of model materials, development of suitable model construction techniques and an evaluation of the accuracy of prototype response prediction through model case studies on components and simple structures. Steel and Reinforced concrete structures are considered in this study.
